I think my last post mentioned that I would be participating in the 2-week Women’s History Month series of guest author posts over at STACKED, called About the Girls–well, that kicked off today in stellar fashion with a post on one of those subjects we enjoy debating here at FW: the Unlikeable Female Protagonist. Author and publisher Sarah McCarry, who wrote All Our Pretty Songs (which I haven’t yet read) has a pretty hilarious take on it. One favorite quote from the post: “Female Protagonists may only ever be subdivided into ‘Likable’ and ‘Unlikable’; for Fully-Developed Human Beings, refer to ‘Men.'”
Ha. Yes.
Anyway, go check it out and keep checking back for the rest of the series–if today’s post is an indication, it’s going to be a lot of fun.
